Another Morning Prayer for a Sick Person

I COMMIT Myself this day and all the days of my life to Thee, God, the eternal Father, who hast created me; to Thee, God, the eternal Son, who hast redeemed me; to Thee, God the Holy Ghost, who hast sanctified me in my baptism. O eternal divinity, O true humanity, O Holy Trinity, render Thou me fit at all times to enter eternal bliss. Amen.

O Benevolent and merciful God and Father, by Thy grace I have again passed the night and have lived to see glad daylight once more. I thank Thee that Thou hast been my guard and keeper, my comforter and helper; that Thou hast, as a father, sustained my frail body and my downcast soul; that Thou hast preserved me from a sudden death, great temptations and other ills; and that Thou hast, by Thy holy angels, powerfully protected me against the devil, the prince of darkness. It is due to Thy mercy and grace that I still live. Do Thou also this day, I heartily pray Thee, turn Thy face unto me, and so guard and guide me that nothing sinful be in my thoughts, words, or actions. Lead me, Thy needy sheep, in the paths of Thy holy word, which is my only comfort in my distress. Preserve me, O Lord, for I trust in Thee; Thou art my only strength, my God, and my greatest treasure. Do Thou direct my mind and desire towards fearing and also loving Thee, dispelling all that does not emanate from Thee. Hide me in Thee, that in my cross and my distress I may submit my will to Thee and trust in Thee alone, since no man can counsel or save me. But Thou art the true physician of all sick, the true comfort for all in distress, the only salvation of the dying. Do Thou heal me, comfort me and save me, O heavenly Father! Especially do Thou this day preserve me from sin and all evil, from the wiles of the devil, from the offenses of the world and the evil lusts of my own sinful flesh. Grant unto me patience, hope and perseverance. And when the time of my sojourning is at an end, give me an easy and blessed death through Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son, my Savior. Amen.
